Recently, a research group led by Prof. Chen Xiaoyuan and Dr Nie Liming with the Center for Molecular Imaging in the School of Public Health has made great achievements in the field of molecular imaging. The paper, published on Nature Communications, was titled “Artificial local magnetic field in homogeneity enhances T2 relaxivity”.

        The paper was coauthored by Zhou Zijian, a postdoctoral researcher, and Tian Rui, a doctoral student, with the guidance of Prof. Chen Xiaoyuan and Dr Nie Liming. The research, partly supported by Prof. Wang Ruifang of Department of Physics and Prof. Gao Jinhao of College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, was sponsored by National Natural Science Foundation of China, National High-tech Research and Development Program (“863” Project), Major R&D Platform Program in Fujian Province and NIH Intramural Research Program in the US.
